Heavy Metal & Hard Rock Live Albums In 1977
1977 was the year that punk rock shock the music world and the old dinosaur bands were supposed to be in decline to be replaced by groups like The Sex Pistols, The Clash and The Damned.

The Official Bootleg Box Set is a compilation of seven UFO concerts from 1975 to 1985. It covers both the Michael Schenker and Paul Chapman years.
If Strangers In the Night isn’t enough live UFO for you, then this is a great place to turn.
Early versions of the box set went from 1975 to 1982 but it has been extended.

Kiss Alive 2 is the second live album by Kiss, recorded in 1977 with songs from Destroyer, Rock and Roll Over and Love Gun.
The performances came from The Forum, Los Angeles, Capital Theatre, Passaic, New Jersey and Budokan Hall, Tokyo, Japan.
I remember reading the reviews in the Sounds music paper by Geoff Barton where he raved about it and said that it was even better than Kiss Alive! and he loved that first album.
Double Live Gonzo is the first live album by Ted Nugent recorded in 1976 and 1977 and released in 1978.
Ted Nugent had been lead guitarist for the The Amboy Dukes before becoming the star attraction in that group and then going solo.
His first studio albums – Ted Nugent, Free For All and Cat Scratch Fever – were popular with heavy metal fans.
Live and Dangerous is the famous first live album by Thin Lizzy. It was recorded on the 1976 tour promoting the Johnny the Fox and and the 1977 tour for Bad Reputation.
The album has a great rough, tough live sound but it’s well known that it was extensively touched up in the studio although the exact amount has been disputed by the band and the producer, Tony Visconti.
In 2011 it was remastered and two bonus tracks were added – Opium Trail and Bad Reputation.
